355: Trick one hand three mr.
As for the person he mentioned who definitely knows, that person is naturally Chu Yun's Third Senior Brother.
Since his Third Senior Brother is on the mountain, idle anyway, just playing chess and setting up strategies all day, Chu Yun also wanted to turn the tables on him.
This time, he wanted his Third Senior Brother to become his own chess piece.
After hearing Chu Yun's words, Su Xi was clearly a bit suspicious of what he said.
"Who is the person you're talking about?" Su Xi asked directly.
"To be honest."
"It's my Third Senior Brother, also one of the Third Master of the Thatched Cottage, commonly known as the Chess Immortal," Chu Yun said calmly.
"Chess Immortal?"
"Someone from Thatched Cottage could know about something like this? Do you think I'm that easy to fool?" Su Xi clearly didn't believe him.
Chu Yun wasn't surprised by Su Xi's reaction and explained, "Believe it or not, Shadow Empress, you can come with me to Thatched Cottage, and you'll know."
"Besides, I have no reason to lie to you."
"If I were to fabricate something, wouldn't that just worsen our relationship instead?"
"Shadow Empress Su Xi is a smart person; she should know that if I did that, it wouldn't benefit me."
Su Xi listened to Chu Yun's words and fell into deep thought.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Heavenly Chen, as the owner of Linglong, also came out to assist, saying, "Shadow Empress Su Xi, you actually don't need to doubt this."
"No one in the entire Yuan Realm can see through Third Master, not even you."
"To be honest, the reason I let you unseal Linglong was at Third Master's instruction."
"If anyone in the Yuan Realm knows the identities of those hidden in the dark, then it must be Third Master."
"He definitely knows, but it depends on whether he wants to say it or not."
Listening to Xuanyuan Heavenly Chen's high praise, Su Xi also trusted her daughter's judgment; the Xuanyuan Sword Master could never be an ordinary person.
"Alright."
"Then let's go to Thatched Cottage and meet your Third Senior Brother."
"If he really knows something, then I promise you, I won't initiate the Dark Omen; we'll first join forces to deal with those lurking in the shadows," Su Xi looked at Chu Yun and responded.
"Good!"
"The Shadow Empress's promise, I believe it."
"Since that's the case, let's all go together to Thatched Cottage."
After Chu Yun finished speaking, he summoned the Void Realm Gate and released the Evil Infant Realm again.
Su Xi then returned the Xuanyuan Sword to Xuanyuan Heavenly Chen, and Linglong's figure flew back into the sword. "Take good care of her."
Xuanyuan Heavenly Chen nodded after receiving the long-lost Xuanyuan Sword: "Don't worry, as long as the sword is here, I am here."
Immediately after, the group, led by Chu Yun, left this Void Realm space of the Evil Infant Realm and headed towards Thatched Cottage.
..........
Stone Clan.
Currently, within a Secret Realm of the Stone Clan.
The surrounding heavens and earth were all barren rocks, and two golden giants, tens of thousands of meters tall, stood there.
They were Stone Rock, the current Clan Chief of the Stone Clan, and Stone Jin, the Grand Elder.
Directly in front of them was a stone giant nearly a million meters tall; the height of the two of them couldn't even reach the knees of this stone giant.
The million-meter-tall giant stone figure moved its stiff body, its eyes shifting, emitting a vast immortal might that permeated the entire Secret Realm.
"Forefather!!"
"Forefather, what's wrong?"
"What happened?"
Seeing the Forefather in front of them move so unusually, Stone Rock and Stone Jin were greatly alarmed and asked anxiously.
"She didn't act..."
"Chu Yun and Gu Jiujun and the others didn't die; their Qi has shifted, and they're heading towards Thatched Cottage instead!" The Stone Clan Forefather slowly spoke.
"Forefather, could it be that the Shadow Empress captured them and plans to unleash a massacre at Thatched Cottage?" Stone Rock asked.
"No."
"Su Xi's power hasn't been used; she merely released her pressure."
"If I'm not mistaken, they most likely... have negotiated," the Stone Clan Forefather continued.
"Negotiated?"
"How is that possible?"
"The Nightmare Monarch was exiled by time and space, and the Dark Omen was directly destroyed. How could Su Xi still negotiate with them?" Stone Jin asked, surprised.
"It seems some unexpected factors have occurred."
"Forefather, what do we do next?"
"Do we still remain inactive?" Stone Rock requested instructions.
The Stone Clan Forefather pondered for a moment, then said, "First, remain still. Just act as if you know nothing."
"Continue to create the impression that the Stone Clan only wishes to protect itself and not provoke any grudges."
"I will report Su Xi's matter to the Vice President. As for how to resolve it, we'll await the Vice President's instructions."
Stone Rock and Stone Jin both responded, "Yes, Forefather!"
..........
Thatched Cottage.
Under the pavilion.
Third Master and a wisp of Curse's consciousness were still playing chess. Curse scratched his head, looking at the chessboard; he had no moves left.
"No more, no more."
"I played ten games, and you slaughtered me in every single one."
"Master, we've known each other for so many years, can't you go easy on me?" Curse shook his head and said helplessly.
"Going easy gives the opponent a way out, which is fatal for a chess player."
"Similarly, going easy is not my style."
Third Master smiled slightly and quietly began to clear the chess pieces from the board.
"By the way, before Chu Yun appeared, where is the person you chose?"
"How come I can't sense his Qi in the Yuan Realm anymore?"
"Did he die or leave the Yuan Realm?" Curse asked curiously at this moment.
